To maximize the probability of detecting metal contaminants in high value foods, in particular confectionery and low-side profile products, Fortress Technology will unveil what is believed to be the first ever multi-orientation, multi-scan food metal detector to visitors attending Pack Expo.
Named the Interceptor DF (Divergent Field), the system can be customized to different aperture sizes depending on the products being inspected, and offers detection performance levels that outperform any current technology, including X-ray. It is especially sensitive to very thin contaminants that are difficult to detect and can be missed by other technologies.
